the ducks bed in proximity to q tolling
blind the parties who are going to shoot
take up their position behind the blind.
A small playful Chesapeake or other
dog that has been chained up is let
loose between the blind and the water.
A corncOb is tossed to him, which he
retrieves and just AS hegets to the front
of the blind another is tossed, and he is
kept playing around until he has attact-

They soon grow interested in the
maneuvres Of the dog and begin
gradually to approach the shore. Their
curiosity increases and they will APP

Pail Mall Gazette: A funeral OF an
extraordinary character took place on
Dec. % in Yorkshire. when Mr.. j. $.
Brodcrick, a well-known follower Of
Epicurus, Of Halves, in North Yorkshire
was buried. The interment took place
in the deceased gentleman's own land
at Spring End, on the top of a hill. Mr..
Broderick, who believed in the trans
migration Of souls, had directed that no
minister Of religion should attend his
burial, and that no religious ceremony
Of any kind should be performed over
his remains. The funeral, therefore
was almost of a unique description.
The procession had to pass over Stage

range, and As the road was blocked in
places over twelve feet deep with snow
drifts the mourners had most diff

blasting operations had to be carried
on during the whole of Sunday and

St. James Gazette: Prof. Humphry
Of Cambridge has prepared series Of
tables which contain some interesting
information about centenarians. OF
So persons whom he mentions, at least
liz males and 9 females-actually
attained the age Of 100. Others attain
ed very nearly to the hundred years.
Only one Of the persons reached 1O8
years, while one died at the alleged age
of log. OF the 50 persons, So were
women and Is men. Prof. Humphry
tells US that the comparative immunity
Of women from the exposures and risks
to which men are subjected, and the
greater temperament eating and drink
ing exhibited by women are the chief
points in determining their higher
chances Of longevity. Out Of the So
women 26 had been married. and IL
had borne large families. OF the Is
who had been wives 8 had married be-
fore they were 20. one at Is. and ut
II.
Twelve Of the fifty-two centenarians
we're discovered to have been the eldest
children Of their parents. This fact,
adds DR.. Humphry, does not agree
with popular notions that first children
inherit febleness of constitution, nor
with the opinion of racing stables.
which is decidedly against the idea
that .sfrstlings' are to be depended
on for good performances on the
course. The centenarians generally
regarded were of spare build. Gout
and rheumatism were as a rule, absent.
1T seems" says Prof. Humphrey, that
the frame which is destined to great
age needs no such prophylactics, and
engenders none of the peccant humors
for which the finger joints Gas in gout)
may find vent.
OF the fifty-two aged people. twenty
four only had no teeth. the average
number of teeth remaining being four
or five. Long hours Of sleep were nota-
able among these old people. the period
of repose averaging nine hours; while
out-of-door exercise in plenty and
early rising are to be noted among the
factors Of prolonged life. One of the
centenarians ..drank to excess on fes-
tive occasions;" another was 4 ..free
beer drinker," and .drank like q fish
during his whole life." Twelve had
been total abstainers for life or nearly
so. and mostly all were ..small meat
eaters"

A Merchant who Cowhided HIS SON.

a Merchant Who COwhided His Son.
In 1924 an old merchant in New York
City started his son, who was inclined to
be somewhat dissipated, in business.
When he set him up he said to him:
Now, my son, have given you ample
capital, if you are steady and take
care of it and yourself you will do
well and make large fortune. Keep
out Of bad company-avoid gambling.
| will indorse all your business-notes
for purchases. If you do not do as
wish you will incur my serious dis
pleasure" Years rolled on and the
son seemed to be doing well. when one
morning well-known blackleg called
on the old gentleman and presented
him with q check on the Bank Of
America for $1,000. Il have been to
the bank. said the gambler. and they
refuse to pay it. Is that your sigma
ture?' The son had lost that amount
at the faro-table the night before. It
flashed across the old mercf ants mind
that something was wrong. and he OBJ
served to the gambler. ..Give me that
check and will give you another. =
He did SO and the gambler went his
way satisfied.
As soon as he was gone the old
gentleman started for the store Of his
son. All seemed sunshine there. He
spoke to his son: II want to see you
upstairs. They went clear up to the
garnet, out of hearing. Then the ex-
asperated father drew out of his pocket
the check. He put it under the eve of
his son. What does this mean?"
The SON was astounded. He tried to
sh uffile il of-to explain it away. It
was of no use. ..You shall no longer
bring disgrace upon me. will put a
stopper on such goings on" On his
way down TO his sons store he had
bought a heavy rawhide at q saddler' 8
shop. He took his son By the collar
and gave him most terrific cowhiding.
When he had finished he said: Nov,
wind up your business as quickly as pos
sible. The son left the business never
to engage in it again, and was never
after regarded IS Of any account by his
father or any one else.-Dry Goods
